NORMAN, Okla. -- ESPN College GameDay is headed for Norman again. Officials with the weekly college football show contacted the Oklahoma Athletics Department Sunday morning with the word that the network had selected this week's homecoming game with the Missouri Tigers.

It will be the 14th time in the last that the show has been on hand for an Oklahoma game, including last year's game at Texas A&M.

GameDay's last visit to Norman was for the 2003 Oklahoma State game. Other trips to Norman included the 2000 Nebraska game, the 2001 Kansas State game and the 1995 Colorado game.

The exact location for the GameDay set will be determined later this week.

GameDay features host Chris Fowler and analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard, who spend two hours each Saturday morning providing in-depth coverage of college football.

Oklahoma and Missouri will play Saturday at 5:30 p.m.

It is indeed FSN.

My sincerest of apologies.

It was figured out a week or two before that it's FSN. Surprising ESPN would pimp an FSN game.

Re: Scheduled

Could be, but considering the only other real alternative was LSU-Kentucky?

ESPN was just at LSU and Kentucky is coming off of a Thursday night loss. Any game other than MU-NU or LSU-UK would have been a MAJOR push for our friends at the Mouse Ears.
